Great news for Belfast City Airport and Ryanair

Ryanair announced it will return to Belfast City Airport after 11 years and is delighted to launch eight new routes for summer 2021 connecting Belfast to a host of popular international summer destinations.

NI consumers can now book a sunshine getaway to summer favourites including Malaga, Mallorca, Faro, Alicante, Barcelona, Ibiza, Milan Bergamo and Valencia, flying on the lowest fares and with the option to avail of Ryanair’s 'zero change fee' offer should plans change.

The UK’s highly successful rollout of their vaccination programme, which has seen almost 35% of the adult population of Northern Ireland already vaccinated, gives NI consumers’ confidence that Summer travel will be possible and with low fares now available from Belfast City Airport, there’s never been a better time to book a break to one of these 8 fantastic sun destinations for Summer 2021.

Ryanair’s Director of Marketing, Dara Brady said:

“We are delighted to make a return to Belfast City Airport this summer, having previously operated here in 2010. The UK Govt’s highly successful rollout of their vaccination programme gives customers the confidence that travel will be possible this summer and NI consumers now have eight routes at low fares to some of the most popular summer holiday destinations in Spain, Portugal and Italy to choose from.

We look forward to welcoming NI customers on board our flights to the likes of Alicante, Barcelona, Milan and Valencia this summer.”

CEO of Belfast City Airport, Brian Ambrose said:

“This is excellent news for those in Northern Ireland considering a getaway this summer. The choice of routes offered by Ryanair will facilitate both city breaks and relaxing beach holidays for our passengers."

Travel has been significantly restricted over the last 12 months and as the vaccine rollout continues at pace and the restrictions ease, we expect there will be considerable demand for these routes. 

"We look forward to welcoming Ryanair customers through the terminal.”
